If your property attaches to a County maintained roadway, then you  must apply for a driveway permit. If you want to add a new driveway connection at your property or to upgrade your existing driveway, you must have a driveway permit before any work can begin.

The County Construction Inspector will come to your property to determine at what depth the culvert pipe (if needed) is to be placed, as well as what length and size your pipe will need to be. The length of culvert pipe needed for your driveway is determined, in part, by the width of driveway you are requesting.

The Driveway Inspector will perform a pre-pour inspection of all form work as well as a final inspection to see that all conditions of the permit are met.

Please make sure that you have completely filled in the driveway permit application, as all of this information is necessary to expedite your permit in a timely fashion.
